Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #4: Winter

Hello! I found a few minutes to make some tags to enter the Concord and 9th "Where creativity meets C9" challenge. The challenge this month is "winter".

My first tag uses the large tree from the "Christmas Cottage" stamp set, along with a sentiment from the same set. I used two different green dye inks to stamp the tree, then used a water brush to watercolor over it. The tree looks so wintery with the snow on it - I thought it could be used all winter instead of just Christmas!

My second tag also uses tress from that same "Christmas Cottage set", but this time I used the smaller trees as a border on the bottom of the tag. I stamped the trees in green inks and watercolored around the trees and the sentiment. The sentiment is from the "Holy Night" set.

My last tag uses the Mary figurine from "Holy Night", which I watercolored using Zig markers. I also watercolored blues in the background as a starry night backdrop for her. The sentiment is from "Holy Night" also.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my tags! I think I will put these on a couple of the special gifts under the tree!

You have created the most beautiful watercolor tags! I'm sure these were much appreciated! I love how made the light radiate out from the stars. Thank you for joining us for our Winter Challenge at Where Creativity Meets C9!

About Me

Hi! My name is Susan. I started papercrafting in 2010 after my daughters gave me some rubber stamps at Christmas. One thing led to another, and now I have a full studio in which I make cards and other papercrafts. In addition to photography and cardmaking, I also love to quilt. I have quilted about 15 years now. I have pictures of quilts I have made under the "quilting" tab on my blog. Thanks for checking out my blog - hope you come away from it a little bit more inspired than when you came!
